 Okay, phew, I overexpose. I wasn't sure if I'd got things entirely
backwards. (and of course I should have thought of using my hand, but it was
pretty cold out there on the lifts, so I was in rather a hurry to get my
gloves back on again.. Not perhaps the most thoughtfully composed shots I've
ever taken, but I'm going to hope for the best)

 I actually shot everything at +1 and +2 because there was a _lot_ of white
in the scenes, but I had a horrible feeling I should have been doing -1 and
-2 instead (which would have left me off by 2/4 stops, which is a _lot_ to
ask of film..)

 Thanks, that's a _big_ relief!
